The Valo Hyperfoil isn’t your average jet ski. This innovative, two-person, fully-electric watercraft elevates the experience with groundbreaking technology and eco-conscious design.

 

Founder Ed Kearney’s childhood fascination with hydrofoils ignited the spark for the Valo Hyperfoil.

 

Kearney’s vision, coupled with expert collaboration, brought the craft to life in a mere six months. This rapid development reflects the Hyperfoil’s own high-performance capabilities.

Twin foils, a powerful 45kW electric motor, and the proprietary Skyride flight stabilization system are the cornerstones of the Hyperfoil’s performance. 

 

This translates to exhilarating rides with maximum speeds reaching 35 knots and an impressive range exceeding two hours on a single charge.

 

The Valo Hyperfoil isn’t just about speed. Skyride software ensures a smooth and safe journey, while its design lends itself to scalability, meaning similar technology could be implemented on larger vessels.

Built for adventure, designed for ease

Durability and practicality are key aspects of the Valo Hyperfoil. High-quality materials and top-tier suppliers ensure the craft is built to last.

 

 Additionally, its trailerable design and shallow-water capabilities open doors to exploring previously inaccessible areas.

The craft has already generated significant buzz, exceeding first-year production capacity with Founder’s Edition reservations.

Beyond Fun: an investment in the future

The Valo Hyperfoil represents more than just a thrilling ride. It’s a platform for a sustainable transportation revolution, with applications extending beyond recreational use. 

 

“We’ve opened a unique opportunity for investment,” says Kearney, highlighting the company’s desire to transform marine transportation.

Investor Alex Teng echoes this sentiment: “While the Hyperfoil is incredible, it’s just the beginning. It’s a stepping stone to a major shift.” 

 

Investors like Teng are excited to be part of Valo’s journey as they bring “flying” to the water.

 

Valo, a marine technology startup, is dedicated to clean water transportation through hydrofoil technology. 

 

Backed by investors like Y Combinator, Fifty Years, and Lower Carbon Capital, Valo aspires to redefine marine mobility for a cleaner, brighter future.
